The essential method that Fleisher, Bender, and Walter had resurrected from the nineteenth century was deceptively simple: They had filled a room with detectives to unmask a crime of murder. Like Vidocq's ex-cons, though far more sophisticated, they had at their disposal the most advanced forensic tools of their age. Busboys swarmed out of the kitchen and swept away the last of the silver and china, carded the remaining crumbs from the white tablecloths. As the coffee was poured, the historic chamber was no longer the Long Room. It was the Murder Room, reborn.
At ten past one, Fleisher introduced Mr. Antoine LeHavre of Louisiana. A rotund man in his forties with dark hair and a gentlemanly manner, LeHavre wore a sports jacket and eyes burdened with woe. He stood at the lectern, slightly to the right of the gruesome image of his slain friend. There was an air of anticipation, as never before had an ordinary citizen presented to the Vidocq Society, alone.
LeHavre began by thanking the society for inviting him. "I know that you better than anyone else understand what I've been through," he said. "I just couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't do it anymore alone."
They had all seen enough cases to know the Murder Room was a place to walk far around, a step in life to bypass if you could. The chamber was invisible to a happy man. Agony lit the way. The room appeared to the suffering. They had seen his like before. He was one of the walking dead, zombified by the unsolved murder of a friend or loved one, a man willing to crawl to the end of the Earth to right a terrible wrong. But they saw something else as well, also well known among them: After four courses served hot, Antoine LeHavre was ready for revenge, served ice-cold.

My Mood:
We have two Radians. We have an Ody.
Honestly we love them. DH installs them and is always able to a good install.
We dont weigh or measure the kids much (so take it for what it is).
DS will be 3 in Feb. His stats from Aug: 38 1/2 inches and 32 lbs. So hes skinny but super tall. I'm glad we have the Radian for the height. We are thinking we'll have to turn him soon. He only has a few inches till he rests the top of the shell.
DD is 17 months and I have no idea on her stats right now. She loves to hang her legs over the side of the seat when shes napping.
- The profile is low. Something I hate about the MyRide (one of our spare seats). I seriously hate how high the sides are on that thing.
- Its a beast. The Radians are heavy... Its a fact but we dont move them much so its not a deal breaker for us.
- We have a van so the front to back space isnt a big deal but it does take up some space.
- Since DS is tall I really like knowing he has had a tall seat to grow into.
If you go with a Britax make sure you let it air out in the garage or something for a few days. Its the worst seat for off gassing. I'm mobile so its a PITA to search for anything but there was a list of seats that were the worst off gasers a couple years ago and they were at the top.

Signoria of Florence
This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009) |
The Signoria was the government of medieval and renaissance Florence. Its nine members, the Priori, were chosen from the ranks of the guilds of the city: six of them from the major guilds, and two from the minor guilds. The ninth became the Gonfaloniere of Justice.
Selection of members[edit]
The names of all guild members over thirty years old were put in eight leather bags called borse. Every two months these bags were taken from the church of Santa Croce, where they were ordinarily kept, and in a short ceremony drawn out at random. Only men who were not in debt, had not served a recent term, and had no relation to the names of men already drawn, would be considered eligible for office.
Service in the Signoria[edit]
Immediately after they were elected, the nine were expected to move into the Palazzo della Signoria, where they would remain for the two months of their office. There they were paid a modest sum to cover their expenses and were provided with green-liveried servants. The Priori had a uniform of crimson coats, lined with ermine and with ermine collars and cuffs.
In undertaking their governmental duties, the Signoria was required to consult two other elected councils collectively known as Collegi. The first was the Dodici Buonomini, with twelve members, while the second, the Sedici Gonfaloniere, consisted of sixteen people. Other councils, such as the Ten of War, the Eight of Security and the Six of Commerce, were elected as the need arose.

Transistors Tutorial
Part 5:
by Tony van Roon (VA3AVR)
"Learn about the audio amplifiers in stereos, tuners, tape/cassette, and CD players, and apply your knowledge to experiments or designs."
Transistors are the key components in many different kinds of audio preamplifiers, amplifiers, and tone-control circuits. Recent articles in this series have discussed the operation principles and applications for discrete bipolar junction transistors (BJT). Earlier articles have covered such subjects as low-power amplifier circuits, multivibrators, and oscillators.
Audio Amplifier Basics:
A modern stereo amplifier system has two closely matched high-fidelity audio amplifier channels. Typically each of those channels offers switch-selectable inputs for such signal sources as a tuner, tape-player, CD-player, TV, MTS, etc. Each also provides a single output signal to a high-power loudspeaker. To analyze one of those systems, it is useful to divide the system into three functional circuit blocks, as shown in
Fig. 1
The first of these blocks is the selector/preamplifier. It permits the system listener to select the desired input signal source, and it automatically applies an appropriate amplification level and frequency correction to the signal to condition it for the second circuit block, tone/volume control.
The tone/volume-control block permits the listener to adjust the frequency characteristics and the amplitude of the audible output to suit his individual taste. This block might also contain additional filter circuits including one specifically designed to screen out scratch and rumble.
The last section of the amplifier system is the power amplifier. It might be able to produce power levels from a few hundred milliwatts to hundreds of watts. Audio power amplifiers are designed to cover the audio frequency range with minimal distortion. Most quality products today include automatic overload and thermal-runaway protection.
The three sections of the audio amplifier system are all powered from a single built-in power supply. All three sections include individual power supply decoupling networks to prevent unwanted signal interference. The first two amplifier blocks will be discussed here.
Simple Preamplifiers:
The audio preamplifier circuit modifies the signal characteristics so that it will have a steady frequency response and the nominal 100-millivolt output amplitude necessary for driving the tone/volume control section.
If the input signal is derived from a radio tuner or a tape player, the signal characteristics are usually in a form that can be fed directly to the tone/control section, bypassing the preamplifier. However, if the input is obtained from a micro-phone or other audio input device, it will probably need preamplifier conditioning.
Two basic kinds of transducers are found in micro-phones and audio pickups: magnetic or piezoelectric ceramic/crystal. Magnetic transducers typically offer low output impedance and a low signal sensitivity of about 2 millivolts. Their outputs must be fed to a high-impedance preamplifier stage with near-unity voltage gain.
Most microphones have a near flat frequency response, so they can be matched to simple, flat-response preamplifier stages.
Figure 2
shows a unity-gain preamplifier circuit that will work with most high-impedance ceramic or crystal microphones. It is an emitter-follower (common-collector) amplifier with an input network bootstrapped by C2 and R3. It has a typical input impedance of about 2 megohms. The combination of C5 and R5 decouples the amplifier from the DC power supply.
Figures 3 and 4 show alternative preamplifier circuits that will match magnetic microphones. The single-stage circuit of
Fig. 3
gives 46dB (x200) of voltage gain, and will work with most magnetic microphones. The two-stage circuit of
Fig. 4
, however, gives 76dB of voltage gain, and it is intended for preamplification of the output of very-low-sensitivity magnetic microphones.
RIAA Preamplifier Circuits:
The replay of a constant-amplitude 20Hz to 20KHz variable-frequency signal that has been recorded on a phonograph disc with conventional stereo recording equipment will generate the nonlinear frequency response curve shown in
Fig. 5
. Here, the dotted line shows the idealized shape of this curve, and the solid line shows an actual shape.
Examination of the idealized (dotted) version of the curve in Fig. 5 will show that the response is flat between 500 and 2120 Hz. However, it rises at a rate of 6dB/octave (20 dB/decade above 2120 Hz), and falls at a 6dB/octave rate between 500 Hz and 50 Hz. The response then flattens at frequencies below 50Hz.
There are good--but difficult to explain--reasons why the precise Fig. 5 recording curves are used. However, all you really need to know is that they make it possible to produce disc recordings with excellent signal-to-noise ratios and wide dynamic ranges. The curves were applied during record pressing.
The important point to be made here is that when a disc is replayed, the output of the pickup device must be passed to the power amplifier through a preamplifier whose frequency equalization curve is the mirror image (exact inverse) of the one used to make the original recording. As a result, a linear overall record-to-replay response is obtained.
Figure 6
shows the RIAA equalization curve. RIAA is an abbreviation for the
ssociation of
merica, the organization that standardized the precise specification of the curve for the equalization of phonograph records. When long-playing phonograph (record-player) records were the primary source of recorded music and audio entertainment, circuit designers had to include filter networks that corrected the input from the record to conform to the RIAA equalization curve.
The relatively recent(1994) world-wide conversion to compact discs (CDs) as the primary source of recorded music and entertainment has diminished the importance of the RIAA curve. Equalization is not required for linear signal sources such as CDs.
Nevertheless, a preamplifier with an RIAA equalization network is still needed if you want to play any of the pressed long-playing and 45 rpm records. This equalization can be obtained by wiring frequency-dependent, resistive capacitive feedback networks into a preamplifier. This circuitry causes the gain to fall as the frequency rises. One network will control the 50 to 500 Hz response, and the other will control the 2120 Hz to 20 kHz response.
Figure 7
is the schematic for an amplifier with those networks that will work with any magnetic phono cartridge. It gives a 1-volt output from a 6-millivolt input at 1KHz, and provides equalization that is within 1 dB of the RIAA standard between 40 Hz and 12KHz.
The preamplifier circuit is designed around transistors Q1 and Q2, with C2 and R5, and C3 and R6 forming the feedback resistor capacitor equalization network. The output of the emitter-follower buffer stage, transistor Q3, can be controlled by volume control potentiometer R10.
The quality of reproduction of ceramic or crystal phono cartridges is generally lower than that of magnetic cartridges, but they produce far higher amplitude output signals. Ceramic and crystal phone cartridges will work with simple equalization preamplifiers--one reason why those cartridges were installed in so many low-cost record players.
Figure 8 and 9
show alternative phone cartridge preamplifier/equalization circuits that can function with wither ceramic or crystal phono cartridges. Both circuits are designed around transistorized emitter-follower output stages Q1 and Q2. The output of the circuit in
Fig. 8
can be controlled by volume control potentiometer R4, and that of
Fig. 9
is controlled by R5.
The preamplifier/equalizer in Fig. 8 will work with any phone cartridge whose capacitance is between 1000 and 10,000pF. Two-stage equalization is provided by the resistance-capacitance network made up of C1, C2, R2, and R3. Preamplification/equalization for this circuit is typically within 1.6 dB of the RIAA standard between 40 Hz and 12KHz.
The alternative preamplifier/equalizer shown in Fig. 9 will work only with phono cartridges whose capacitance value are between 5000 and 10,000pF because this capacitance is part of the circuit's frequency response network. The other part of the network is formed by C1 and R3. At 50 Hz, this circuit has a high input impedance of about 600 kilohms, which causes only slight cartridge loading. However, as frequency increases, input impedance decreases sharply, increasing cartridge loading and effectively reducing circuit gain. The equalization curve approximates the RIAA standard, and circuit performance is adequate for most practical applications.
A Universal Preamplifier:
Most audio amplifier systems must have preamplifiers with many different characteristics. These include high-gain linear response for magnetic microphones, low-gain linear response for tuners, and high-gain RIAA equalization for magnetic phone cartridges.
To meet this broad requirement, most amplifier designers include a single universal preamplifier circuit such as the one shown in
Fig. 10
. Basically a high-gain linear amplifier, its characteristics can be altered by switching alternative resistor filter networks into its feedback system.
For example, when the selector switch is set to the
Mag phono
position, alternative input sources can be selected by S1-a, and appropriate linear-response gain control feedback resistors R8, R9, and R10 are now selected by S1-b. Those feedback resistor values are selected between 10 kilo ohms and 10 megohms to suit individual listener tastes. Circuit gain will be proportional, to the feedback resistor value.
Volume Control:
control circuitry of an audio amplifier system is normally located between the output of the preamplifier stage and the input of the tone-control circuit. It is usually only a potentiometer within the circuit, as shown in Figs. 7, 8, and 9. However, the catch here is that rapid rotation of the potentiometer knob can apply DC voltage to the next circuit for brief intervals. That voltage could upset circuit bias and cause severe signal distortion.
The block diagram in
Fig. 11
shows the ideal topology and location for a volume control. It is fully DC-isolated from the output of the preamplifier by capacitor C1, and from the input of the tone-control circuit by C2. As a result, variation of the wiper of control potentiometer R1 has no effect on the DC bias levels of either circuit. Potentiometer R1 should have a logarithmic taper, that is, its output should be logarithmic function rather than linear.
Passive Tone Control:
A tone-control network permits the listener to change th system amplifier's frequency response to suit his own mood or taste. He can, for example, boost or reduce the low-frequency (treble) sections of a musical selection to emphasize the sounds of specific sections of the orchestra.
Tone-control networks typically consists of simple resistive-capacitive filters through which the signals are passed. Because these networks are passive, they cause some signal attenuation. Tone control networks can, if desired, be wired into the the feedback loops of simple transistor amplifiers to give the system an overall signal gain. Those are known as
tone control circuits.
Fig. 12-a
shows a typical passive
tone-control network, and
Fig. 12-b
Fig. 12-d
show the equivalent of this circuit when control potentiometer R3 is set to its maximum
, maximum
, and
positions, respectively. Capacitors C1 and C2 are effectively open circuited when the frequency is at its lowest bass value. It can be seen from Fig. 12-b that the
circuit is equivalent to a voltage divider formed by dividing 10 kilohms by 101 kilohms. This arrangement results in a low resistive value of about 100 ohms that only slightly attenuates bass signals.
The Fig. 12-c
circuit, by contrast, has a voltage divider equal to 100 kilohms divided by a 1 kilohm which gives a signal attenuation of about 40 dB. Finally, in Fig. 12-d when potentiometer R3 is set to the
position, it will have 90 kilohms of resistance above the wiper and 10 kilohms below it.
This circuit resistance value is equal to 100 kilohms divided by 11 kilohms.
It gives a signal attenuation of about 20 dB at all frequencies. As a result, the circuit gives a maximum bass boost of about 20 dB or
relative to the
Fig. 13
shows a typical passive
tone-control network together with its equivalent circuits under maximum
, maximum
, and
operating conditions. This circuit also provides about 20 dB of signal attenuation when potentiometer R3 is in the
position, and it gives maximum treble
values of about 20 dB relative to its
Fig. 14
shows how the Fig. 12-a and 13-a schematics can be combined to make a complete bass and treble tone-control network The 10-kilohm resistor R5 has been added to minimize unwanted interaction between the two connected circuit sections. The input to this network can be taken from the circuit's volume control, and its output can be fed to the input of the power amplifier.
Active Tone Controls:
A tone-control network can be included in the feedback path of a transistor amplifier so that the system will have an overall signal gain (rather than attenuation) when its controls are in the
position. These networks can be simplifier versions of the basic circuit shown in Fig. 14.
Fig. 15
is the schematic for an active tone-control circuit.
A comparison of Figs. 15 and 12 will reveal that the bass control section of Fig. 15 is a simplified version of Fig. 12-a. It can be seen that the two capacitors C1 and C2 of Fig. 12-a have been replaced by the single 0.039uF capacitor C2 of Fig. 15. Similarly, the
version of Fig. 13-a, with resistors R1 and R2 eliminated. Resistors R3 and R4 balance the performance of the two section of the Fig. 15 control circuit.
An Audio Mixer:
A multichannel audio mixer is an attractive modification that can be added to the volume/tone-control section of an audio amplifier. This mixer permits several different audio signals to be mixed together to form a single composite output signal. This modification will be of value if, for example, you want to hear the front-door buzzer or the sounds of a baby crying in a child's room while you listening to music.
Figure 16
is the schematic for a three-channel audio mixer that will provide an overall gain of one between the output and each input channel. Each input channel includes a single 0.1 uF capacitor and a 100-kilohms resistor, to provide an output impedance of 100 kilohms. The number of input channels to this audio mixer can be increased by adding more capacitors and resistors with the same values as C1 and R1.
The mixer should be located between the output of the tone-control circuitry and the input to the power amplifier. One input should be taken from the output of the tone-control circuit, and the other inputs should either be grounded or taken from the desired source.

Red Sea Governorate (Arabic: محافظة البحر الأحمر Muḥāfaẓat el Baḥr el Aḥmar) is one of the governorates of Egypt. Located between the Nile and the Red Sea in the southeast of the country, its southern border forms part of Egypt's border with Sudan. Its capital is the city of Hurghada.
The Red Sea Governorate is bordered on the north by the Suez Governorate, to the east by the Red Sea, and to the west by the governorates of Aswan, Qena, Sohag, Asyut, al-Minya and Beni Suef. In the south it is bordered by Sudan's Red Sea State. It contains the disputed territory of the Hala'ib triangle, including the Siyal Islands.
In addition to the administrative center of Hurghada, about 60,000 residents live in the cities of Ras Gharib, Safaga, Al-Qusair, Marsa Alam, and Bir Shalatein. The population in 2006 was 288,233 inhabitants, of which more than 275,000 lived in a few towns along the coast. In general, the economic structure of the province's cities and tourist areas is concentrated along the coast. Historically, the population since 1937 was:
- 1937: 9,914
- 1947: 15,929
- 1966: 38,000
- 1976: 56,191
- 1986: 90,491
- 1996: 155,695
- 2006: 288,233
- 2014: 337,051
The coast is, as already mentioned, a tourist element. Since the early 80s, Hurghada has been a popular destination for beach lovers and scuba divers. Tourism is also growing in the southern cities of Al-Qusair, Safaga and Marsa Alam. In addition to the numerous hotels and tourist establishments in the centers are located in Al-Bahr al-Ahmar 2 official nature reserves are to be developed for tourism or. The Wadi al-Gamal National Park (Valley of the camels) at Hamata near the town of Marsa Alam and the Gebel Elba National Park in disputed Hala'ib Triangle north of the town of Hala'ib. Besides a strong tourism industry, there is also a large offshore fishing industry. The area, which extends over the province, is rich in minerals, such as in phosphates. The Ras Gharib region contains 70% of Egypt's oil production.

14 October 1950 Meeting on Wake Island between Truman and MacArthur |
In early October General MacArthur received a telegram asking
that he meet with President Truman on the progress of the war in Korea.
United Nations forces had just advanced across the 38th parallel into North
Korea, and Truman was concerned about the possibility that the communist
government in China might intervene to protect Kim Il-Sungs regime. In
addition, MacArthur had recently embarrassed the administration by calling
publicly for the use in Korea of Nationalist Chinese forces from Taiwansomething
that the administration rejected for fear that it would antagonize the
Chinese Communists.
Since the consensus in the administration was that MacArthur should not be kept away from his command for too long, it was agreed that the two men would meet at Wake Island in the Pacific. On the surface the meeting seemed to go well; MacArthur apologized for any embarrassment that his remarks might have caused the president, and assured Truman that the Chinese would not intervene in Korea. Truman, however, was infuriated that MacArthur had shown up for a meeting with the President of the United States dressed in his regular uniform and stained cap. He said nothing at the time, but the meeting did little to ease the presidents misgivings. - Memorandum Regarding October 15 Meeting with MacArthur, November 25, 1950 |

Date: | August 5, 2010 |
Contact: | Kristen Brengel, Director, Legislative and Government Affairs National Parks Conservation Association 202.454.3380 |
Important National Park Legislation Passes in Senate Committee
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved several bills that will enhance the National Park System including establishing a new national park unit in New Mexico, which is known for its remarkable landscape, geology, and profound connection to cultural resources; protecting a critical watershed around Glacier National Park; and expanding the historic Petersburg National Battlefield and Gettysburg National Military Park.
On S. 3452, to designate the Valles Caldera National Preserve as a unit of the National Park System:
"With this vote, the reality of a Valles Caldera National Preserve, managed by the National Park Service, is one step closer," said David Nimkin, Southwest Regional Director.
"Protecting this remarkable natural resource, sustaining traditional uses, conducting excellent research, and more importantly, providing for rich and rewarding visitor experiences is what our national park system is all about. We applaud the wisdom and energy of the New Mexico delegation for their support of this initiative and especially Senator Bingaman for his leadership."
David Nimkin, Southeast Regional Director, 801.521.0785
On S. 3075, to protect the North Fork Watershed in Montana:
"The North Fork Watershed Protection Act is an important step closer to becoming federal law," said Will Hammerquist, Glacier Program Manager.
"We look forward to the continued leadership of Senators Baucus and Tester to secure final passage of this historic legislation to protect Glacier National Park during its Centennial year."
Will Hammerquist, Glacier Program Manager, 406.862.6722
On H.R. 3388 to modify the boundary of Petersburg National Battlefield in Virginia and H.R. 4395 to revise the boundaries of the Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania:
"NPCA particularly wants to thank Senators Webb and Warner in Virginia, and Senators Specter and Casey in Pennsylvania, for their leadership to protect these historic places," said Joy Oakes, Senior Mid-Atlantic Regional Director.
"With April 2011 marking the 150th anniversary of the beginning of our American Civil War, enactment of these bills is of urgent importance."
Joy Oakes, Senior Mid-Atlantic Regional Director, 202.454.3386

I have a Sears Kenmore 158.17572 sewing machine, and I don't have a manual for it. No matter what setting I put it on I can't seem to be able to stitch a zigzag or any of the diff types on the pics on the dial. Also has 2 dials with numbers. Any ideas? I'm getting frustrated
According to this video, a metal cam needs to be in place when using the built in stitches
------Bernina B330 Feet: 1,2,3,3A,4,5,7,8,10,13,16,18,20, 29,32,35,37,50,64,70,71,82,85,86, 92
I checked the Cam, and its the same one as in the video. Has white and green lines tried changing that around and straight stitch still. Saw another vid where the guy said change the little plate around.. Doesnt work. I'm not sure if I'm doing this wrong (havent sewn in years), but when I do try and sew the fabric doesnt move like it does in the video you linked for me. It seems to bind up and the cotton from the needle gets stuck in the bobbin underneath thru the little groove thing. (sorry I'm not very technical with names it has little ripples on it like teeth if that helps). That groove moves up and down with the needle, unless I turn this other switch that has a U on it then that groove drops lower into the machine?
I have tried both ways good to know that they're supposed to be up (and thanks for the name). I'm not sure when the last time it was cleaned. A nice old lady gave it to me to give me something to do while I recover. My hubby sprayed it with some lubricant in the motor and lubricated it? I've forgotten how to thread the machines properly. My mom said she'd come over and have a look tomorrow but im trying to figure it out now cuz i want to try it :P the bobbin went click.. online lookup said it has to go click with the little lever pointing up? The thread says Coats All purpose dual duty plus. The fabric is a old sheet i wanted to practice on. I believe 100%cotton. I didnt start with the needle in the fabric just put the foot down and pushed the pedal. I should try that. I try to hold the threads at the back but sometimes they escape and disappear into the feed dog. then it gets more jammed and i have to take it apart.. one things for sure.. I know how to take apart just about every part of the bobbin case and holder thing now :P Thanks for the tips. I shall go try that after dinner and see if it changes anything.
I think you really need this: http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/owner_manuals/46821/KENMORE-Mechanical-Sewing-L1005341?brand_name_search=158.17572+

Following his graduation from grade 8, McDowell worked on the family farm as the 1930s were a difficult economic time for the family. In the winter months he was able to attend the Ontario Mennonite Bible School for a number of terms between 1936 and 1940, though he did not graduate. There he discovered his interest in theology, however, and through the assistance of Oscar Burkholder began to attend high school at Niagara Christian College in September 1939. While still attending high school he was ordained on 29 December 1940 by Oliver Snider to assist in the Wideman congregation.
He completed his high school work in 1942, and in the fall of 1943 attended Eastern Mennonite School for one year. However the war made travel across the border for draft-age young men difficult, so he did not return. After moving to Toronto in 1945, he finished grade 13 at East York Collegiate, and then enrolled part time at Toronto Bible College. He later studied at the University of Toronto, where he received his B.A. Later he continued his studies at Emmanuel College in Toronto, receiving a B.D. degree in 1956, and a M.Th. degree in 1966. His graduate thesis was entitled, "Factors common to Anabaptism and Methodism."
In 1945 Emerson McDowell was called to the Toronto Mennonite Mission (later Danforth Mennonite Church) after Harold Groh left to serve the new Rockway Mennonite School. Emerson and Elsie McDowell found their years in Toronto (1945-1964) to be among the most satisfying of their lives. During these years (26 May 1954) Emerson was ordained as a bishop in the Mennonite Church. He later pastored the Hagerman Mennonite Church (Markham, Ontario) from 1965-1975 and the Steeles Avenue Mennonite Church (1968-1975).
McDowell was both innovative and ecumenical in his work. He helped to develop camping programs for city youth and children at Fraser Lake Camp near Bancroft in 1955 and the Glenbrook Day Camp in Stouffville in 1968. The McDowell home was also open to university students and working people for fellowship and discussion.
The larger Mennonite community also utilized McDowell's administrative gifts. He served on the board of Goshen Biblical Seminary, and on the Overseas Committee of the Mennonite Board of Missions. In Ontario he served on a variety of Mennonite Conference of Ontario committees, including a term as moderator from 1970-1975. He served as the first chairman of the Inter-Mennonite Executive Council in Ontario that years later led to the formation of the Mennonite Conference of Eastern Canada, the first "inter-Mennonite" conference.
Reflected in the title of his Master's thesis, Emerson McDowell did not see the Mennonite community as an island. He recognized the influence of other denominations on Mennonites through exposure to ecumenical contexts. He believed the Mennonite church would increase its effectiveness through greater unity. It was no accident that the second meeting of the Inter-Mennonite Conference in January 1975, chaired by McDowell, featured presentations by a Baptist academic who studied Anabaptism. In an interview six months before his death, McDowell said one vision he had for the church was to "work at breaking down barriers so that people now outside our church can experience faith and fellowship and right relationships with God and people."

(AP) LAS VEGAS - A Paris-born performer in Cirque du Soleil's "Ka" died after a fall during a show in Las Vegas.
Sarah Guyard-Guillot was pronounced dead late Saturday night at a hospital after falling about 50 feet from the show's stage.
Witnesses told the Las Vegas Sun (http://bit.ly/14H3Te0 ) that the accident occurred near the end of the production Saturday night at the MGM Grand.
Visitor Dan Mosqueda of Colorado Springs, Colo., told the newspaper that the performer was being hoisted up the side of the stage when she slipped free of her safety wire and plummeted to an open pit.
Cirque officials issued a statement saying they were "deeply saddened" by the death and that performances of "Ka" have been canceled until further notice.

Paperback, 122 pages
Released: January 2000
Hitting the Lottery Jackpot is a timely critique of the economic and social costs of state reliance on lotteries to generate public revenues. David Nibert highlights the conflicting role of the state as gambling promoter to show who really profits—advertising agencies, TV stations, and ticket vendors—with less than half the money wagered returned as prizes. Hitting the Lottery Jackpot also shows who loses: lower-income groups and people of color, who spend a much higher percentage of their income on lotteries than others.
David Nibert connects the rise of lotteries, illegal in every state before the 1960s, to the economic stagnation beginning in the 1970s, when budgetary crises prompted legislatures to seek new revenues. Difficult economic times produced uncertainty and anxiety for the working class, leading many poor and middle-income people, yearning for security, to throw away huge sums on lotteries they stand almost no chance of winning.
David Nibert also does an exceptional job of providing a broad historical overview of lotteries—from their appearance in 16th century Europe to fund colonialism and expand empire, to their use in generating capital to finance infrastructure development and burgeoning industries in 18th century America. He discusses their decline by the early 19th century and chronicles the political and economic events of the 20th century which led to their subsequent return. Finally, Nibert explores the ideological dimensions of the lottery—the get-rich-quick individualism that is promoted among the very groups who would be better served by political action and solidarity.
Hitting the Lottery Jackpot makes a powerful case against lotteries as a pernicious government tax on the poor, seductively disguised as fun.

You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
I'm pretty easy to figure out: I'm probably one of the most loyal friends you would ever have, I love staying active and being in shape, I love romping around and camping with my dog, my sense of humor is one of my best qualities, I can be very intense about things and people I believe in (but I have long since learned that keeping an open mind is always important), and I firmly believe that in a relationship a man should treat a woman well. There are a million ways to do this last one, but for me it's _not_ a chore, it's a perk! Full disclosure: I do have some obvious character flaws. For example, I can't stand news anchors who make inane comments, making fun of really lame commercials is something I'm proud to be good at, and coffee is the only way to get my brain switched on in the morning. I think chemistry is impossible to predict, but easy to spot: when two people have it, they love their time together. I can tell you this though, I will keep you on your toes (in a good way), keep you laughing (also in a good way), and I will make a point of sharing fun places/experiences/e tc. I'm looking for someone who's warm, genuine, and a bit spunky too. But hey, I'm not going to try and predict what makes good chemistry. Oh, and I'm also a firm believer that men should treat women well.

My marvellous stay in a chaikhana :-)
As already described in my intro, it was difficult to find a place to sleep in Khokand (when I was there, in August 2006, it might have changed by now).
There is one hotel, yes, and LP describes it as having filthy rooms which are "literally infested with cockroaches". Well, even if I am considering myself as hardcore traveller, I am not quite fond of sharing my sleep with the roaches. I checked with a taxi driver (note: taxi drivers are nice in Khokand, as opposed to in the more famous Uzbek cities), and he showed me a room of a friend, who was just starting to renovate a house for being hotel as well. Same story here. Finally I ended up in a chaikhana, just to get some rest, have tea and consult with the owner and his friends, which were sitting there playing cards. What followed now was the best example of unspoilt Uzbek helpfulness, hospitality and friendliness: one of the guys went with his car and came back 2 hours later to tell me that sadly he could not find any place. Then the chaikhana owner told me, I could sleep in the little room behind the restaurant, which he uses sometimes if he was too late to get home. He handed me over the key and… ahh, a place where I could roll out my sleeping bag and which was very much safe (although, Khokand is safe anyhow).
The best of all: he did not even want me to pay for the room, but told me that he would be happy if I have at least breakfast in his chaikhana. Well, this was not a big deal, as the food was very good. Plus, there was a lovely waitress, who was very much curious about almost everything – spoke only Russian, but at the end of my 2 days there, she learnt some words in German and English and I some in Russian.
Well, I am not sure if I can recommend to do the same, as I feel a bit sorry for the poor guy if herds of travellers appear there and ask for a room – but on the other hand, Khokand (sadly) Khokand is very much overlooked by most of the Uzbek travellers, so the choice is low that he will get requests for a bed every week.
It is the (only) chaikhana just east of the entrance to the Khan's palace, easy to spot, with the blue covers of their seating area.
The room was very good, with separate toilet and shower. He even had a ventilator inside (thanks god, Uzbekistan is not yet having air condition everywhere). But… as I had the window open in the night, I must have invited all mosquitos of Ferghana Valley – each night they seemed to have excellent dinner…. So bring insect repellent !

Sea spider
The English used in this article or section may not be easy for everybody to understand. (April 2012) |
Sea spiders Temporal range: Late Cambrian - Present |
Scientific classification | |
Kingdom: | Animalia |
Phylum: | Arthropoda |
Subphylum: | Chelicerata |
Class: | Pycnogonida Latreille, 1810 |
Families | |
See text |
The Sea spiders belong to the class Pycnogonida of the phylum Arthropoda. Sea spider, are sea-dwelling animal that looks somewhat like a spider. There are about 500 species. Sea spiders are found in all oceans. Species found in coastal waters are usually small and have a leg span of about 1 inch (2.5 cm), those living at great depths, up to 24 inches (60 cm).
Description[change | change source]
The sea spider has a small, narrow body. It usually has four pairs of long, thin legs attached to the abdomen. Attached to the head there are usually three other pairs of appendages—a pair called chelicerae, used for grasping food; a pair of sensory projections called palps; and a pair of egg-carrying legs (sometimes underdeveloped or absent in the female). The female lays round masses of eggs upon the egg-carrying legs of the male, which carries the eggs until they hatch.
Distribution[change | change source]
On top of its head, the sea spider has a knobby projection bearing two, three, or four simple eyes. The head ends in a snout with a sucking mouth. Sea spiders feed by sucking the body juices of such marine animals as sea anemones, sponges, and sea squirts.

We love our grill and use it so much in the summer. Bet you didn't know vegans were big grillers! This sounds delicious, I think we will have to try it sans chicken and with soy cheese! Rock on!
Last weekend was incredibly beautiful and warm, albeit a bit windy. I took it as the perfect opportunity to experiment with something I've wanted to try for a while – cooking pizza on the grill. It was definitely an experiment in getting the timing of everything right because we started having some wind issues just after I started, so I had to act really fast and be organized. I confess that the bottom of the crust on the first pizza burnt, because combined with the distraction of a phone call and the necessity of keeping the lid down so the grill would stay hot with all the wind I was not paying very close attention. We sliced off the bottom burnt layer and all was well. I tried again the next day (sans wind) and it cooked up without a hitch.
I love the tangy sweetness of the chutney against the flavor of the sharp cheddar cheese and this pizza feels pretty light because you don't have all the grease from pepperoni, sausage, or other fattening meaty toppings. I upped the amount of cheese to 6 oz., the original only called for 3, and that felt like the perfect ratio of cheese to toppings to crust.
We love our grill and use it so much in the summer. Bet you didn't know vegans were big grillers! This sounds delicious, I think we will have to try it sans chicken and with soy cheese! Rock on!
What a great looking pizza. That tomato chutney is making my mouth water…
Drooling here! Looks delicious!! Luvs
That looks gorgeous and loaded with good stuff!
That looks delicious…I have always wanted to try and make a grilled pizza. When the snow is gone here, in a couple of months, I'll have to try your recipe! Thanks!cheft
The green onions and the melted cheese look gorgeous on the pizza. I also bookmarked your Orange Ricotta Bundt Cake.

Now that you have the new Galaxy S5 and are excited to explore the phone's functionality and features, Android Central has provided frequently asked questions from new Galaxy S5 users.
1. Changing Lock Screen
The lock screen is most likely the display you will often see. You can customize it. Go to Main Settings -> Sound and Display -> Lock Screen Settings. You will be prompted with three options for lock screen: screen security where you require a password or a PIN to unlock your GS5, fingerprint scanner or no security at all. The last option is by all means not recommended. When you travel, the Dual Clock option can display a second clock. For instance, you are based on EST. When you go to Las Vegas, your GS5 will show the time in both places. Also you can adjust the size of the clock. Fundamental checkboxes are found for shortcuts to the camera and date. If the lock screen security is enabled, opening the camera allows the camera app access. Anywhere else will need a password.
2. Maximizing Battery Life
The GS5 battery is great with its long life. Fortunately, there are still additional tips to extend battery life further. This includes lowering the brightness of your display, using Wi-Fi as much as possible, not setting your display for long periods of time, using GPS for spare, apply battery-saving modes and reset your phone occasionally.
3. Taking Screenshots
Taking screenshots with Galaxy S5 differs from the other Android devices as it has a physical Home button. Taking screenshots can be done in three options: pressing the power and home button, swiping your hand and using the DDMS tool. For option 1, press together the Power and Home buttons, then let go after hearing the shutter sound.
For option 2, swipe your hand that positions vertically with the pinky finger facing down over the GS5 display. Swiping can be from left to right or vice versa. Third is using the Dalvik Debug Monitor Service (DDMS) tool together with Android Software Development Kit (SDK). DDMS and SDK are for the more techy ones though, as it is quite tricky, but still simple, if you are willing to put much effort. With options 1 and 2 coming in easy, option 3 can be unnecessary. It is most useful in taking screenshots with Galaxy Gear though.
4. Turning Off Touch Sounds
If you want to turn off the touch sounds of your GS5 handset or the sound when the screen is tapped or the keyboard is typed, pull down from up the screen, tap Sound Quick Setting, select mute or vibrate; and to be more discreet, go to Sound Settings -> Touch Sounds -> Uncheck. Furthermore, it is recommended to uncheck the "Sound When Tapped" section if you are using the Samsung keyboard.
5. Working With Phone Settings
New users usually want to know about changing call settings, which have several ways to do, two of which is via the phone application and the main settings menu. For the Phone application, locate the three-dot overflow button and look for Call Settings. In the Main Settings menu, find the Call settings options such as answering, rejecting and ending calls. It also includes the pop up you see while on calls, accessories, call alerts and more. Tweak your phone calls in this part.

Chicago wants your ideas for the future of the Chicago River
What's downstream for the Chicago River? Mayor Rahm Emanuel this week directed a panel of experts to draft a long-term plan for the network of Chicago-area waterways, announcing $350,000 in grants from the Joyce Foundation, the Chicago Community Trust, and steel company ArcelorMittal to start a project dubbed "Great Rivers Chicago."
Construction of Chicago Riverwalk Underway; City Looks at Funding Options
Friday, March 21, 2014
Chris Bentley.
Chicago's Riverwalk extension is underway, and the city is looking for contractors to help plan and operate concessions along what promises to be a major downtown attraction. Applicants have until April 7 to reply to the city's request for qualifications. Read More
Chicago Riverwalk Work To Begin Soon, Alderman's Office Says
Construction will begin soon on the highly-anticipated expansion to Chicago's Riverwalk, Ald. Brendan Reilly's office announced last week. The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) will start work this fall. Read More
"City Works" envisions Chicago's "dreams and nightmares"
From the abandoned foundations of the ill-fated Chicago Spire to the ghosts of would-be Tribune Towers galore, Chicago's unbuilt legacy could rival the iconic skyline it actually achieved. An exhibition on display downtown, dubbed City Works: Provocations for Chicago's Urban Future, confronts the city with its alternative skyline in the form of a panoramic wall design and a "Phantom Chicago" iPhone app. The overall effect evokes "a dream but also a nightmare," in the words of curator Alexander Eisenschmidt. Read More
Chicago Riverwalk gets $99 million loan from feds
Chicago's plan to extend and revamp its downtown riverwalk got a major shot in the arm from the feds last week.
U.S. Dept of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced the federal government will loan the city $99 million under the Transportation Finance Innovation Act, a program geared at transportation projects of "national and regional significance." Mayor Rahm Emanuel had previously set his sights on just such funding, as well as financial sponsors for ongoing maintenance.
The project, which is scheduled to be finished by 2016, hopes to draw more attention to the riverfront. Designs by Sasaki Associates, Alfred Benesch & Co., Ross Barney Architects, and Jacobs/Ryan Associates call for six unique identities across six downtown blocks of the Chicago River, such as The Jetty, The Cove, and The River Theater. Read more about the design in AN's previous report.
Lessons for Chicago's Riverwalk: Engage With The City
As Chicago gears up for an overhaul of the city's Riverwalk, Mayor Rahm Emanuel has touted his architectural cause célèbre as a way for the city to reengage with its "second shoreline." The renderings by Sasaki Associates show six new blocks of riverfront parks, effectively connecting the shore of Lake Michigan with a small park at the foot of the three massive towers planned for Wolf Point, at the confluence of the Chicago River's three branches.

I've heard that it's possible to go by boat from Phuket to Koh Lipe (One boat from Phuket to Lanta and then another from Lanta to Lipe). On the info I got there's 15 minutes to change boat in Lanta. Does anyone know if this trip is possible to do in one day due to the short time to change boat? Who operates the ferries?
Another thing I wonder is if it's possible to go from Lipe to Langkawi in the morning (there are boats on the afternoon, but then I would miss a flight to Bangkok).

Re: How To Load Data Between two cluster
Hi Samir,
One solution for your Case 1 can be, 1) First you export your data in Hbase (Cluster1) to the HDFS (Cluster1) 2) And then using distcp command you can copy the data from HDFS (cluster1) to HDFS (cluster2) and vice versa I am NOT sure whether this is the optimized solution, prolly you can check for other approaches.

I recently made a strawberry pie that I blogged about. A follower asked me how I could add chocolate to the recipe. I suggested a chocolate graham cracker crust instead of the regular graham cracker crust, but can any of you suggest something else as well? The recipe uses vanilla cook- and-serve pudding... could I use a chocolate instead? The recipe is on my blog: http://iwantchocolate-llaura.blogspot.com/ Thanks!!!

Guessing and adding chocolate to different foods had lead to the best snacks. Consider chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered raisins, etc. Love that your thinking was about chocolate! The Candy Store - Candy Gifts |

Don't say I didn't warn ya. Having listened to the promo EP from Rose Hill Drive earlier in the year, the band reeked of blues-rock influences and very little else. You can't fault a band for trying real hard to make a classic album the first time out (the Meet the Beatles-aping cover, the "ellipsis suite" of songs right in the middle, the 7-minute rock epic "Reptilian Blue", etc.), but you can fault them for not bringing a single original idea to the table. The band works best when they're at slow speed (like the lovely stripped-down acoustic ballad "It's Simple"—how ironic), but when they're blaring through the sub-Stones guitar noodling, you simply have to hold down your fast-forward button to get to anything beyond dull. (Worse yet, their EP featured an "EP-only" track called "Intruder" where they displayed a fantastic mastery of rock dynamics—and of course, they leave it off their full-length; how very unfortunate).

Locking Android App in Portrait Mode for Device with Keyboard

Hi all,
I am designing an Android app that will be locked in portrait mode.
My question is regarding Android devices with a keyboard. If I lock the app in portrait mode, when the user slides out his or her keyboard in a landscape orientation, the app will not reorient to landscape to allow the user to type via the keyboard.
Does it make sense to pop up the on-screen keyboard when the user tries to slide out his/her keyboard in landscape mode? This would be to indicate that only the onscreen keyboard is available to use.
What are your thoughts?
Does Android support portrait/landscape on a per-screen basis?

Jaque Fourie next Bok target?
Tue, 20 Aug 2013 19:28
We are still negotiating
Following Fourie du Preez's brilliant Springbok comeback, Jaque Fourie is reportedly the next overseas veteran being targeted for a Test return.
According to the Cape Times, the South African Rugby Union (SARU) wants to lure Fourie back to Springbok rugby before the end of the year.
The newspaper reported that "a top-level source at SARU" had informed them that SARU are in discussions with Fourie's Japanese club the Kobe Steelers to release him for international duty.
"We are still negotiating [with his club for the tour of Australasia], but things are a bit relaxed now because the guys are on tour.
"Hopefully he can play on the end-of-year tour," the source reportedy revealed.
The report follows Du Preez's impressive return to the Springboks in Saturday's record-breaking win over Argentina after nearly two years after being released by his Japanese club Suntory Sungoliath.
The World Cup-winning scrumhalf is only available for the three Rugby Championship Tests in South Africa.
He therefore did not travel with the Springbok squad to Buenos Aires for this weekend's return match in Mendoza.
